Google to pay 10% of CCI penalty

Google has failed to get an interim stay on an Indian watchdog order directing it to stop abusing its dominant position in the Android operating system in the country.

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Wednesday refused to grant the stay to Google on the order of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) that fined the tech giant Rs 1,337.76 crore and asked it to change its practices on the Android platform.

While admitting the search giant’s challenge to the order, the NCLAT directed Google to pay 10 per cent of the Rs 1,337.76-crore penalty imposed by the fair trade regulator.
